**______________________________________________________________________** appropriate controls are in place; to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. Risk is an on-going reality and the Pilion Trust Board recognise that calculated risks need to be taken to further the objects of the charity and that risk taking can have both negative and positive outcomes or can be both threats or opportunities. In light of this we will always adhere to professional advice in the areas where we need said advice.

## **THE PILION TRUST TRUSTEES REPORT For The Year Ended 31 January 2021** 

## **______________________________________________________________________ ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE 2020/2021** 

## **The Pilion Trust** 

The  Pilion  Trust  was  established  and  incorporated  as  a  company  limited  by Guarantee  on 5th  January  2007  and achieved Registered  Charity  status  on  5th February 2008. The Pilion Trust specialises in supporting, advocating for vulnerable people and families suffering with unmet complex needs such as: drug or alcohol misuse;  mental  or  physical  ill  health;  homelessness;  Domestic  Violence  and/or abuse; trafficked people; young people at risk; disabilities; learning difficulties and offenders returning to their communities. 

The  charity  supports  people  through  any  future  challenges  which  they  feel unconfident or ill equipped to resolve on their own. We are established in the London Borough of Islington, and work across all London Boroughs and from across all UK regions.  We work in Partnership with the local authority and other  compatible organisations/agencies and charities across all London Boroughs and the whole of the United Kingdom. 

This year saw the developments and our partnerships beyond the UK to conflicts and crisis  around  the  World.  We  have  supported  the  victims  of  War,  Oppression, Discrimination and Genocide who have suffered and been displaced. This includes: Darfur (Sudan); Tigres Ethiopia; Accra Ghana (Ghana Pilion); and the Rohingya in Myanmar. 

This year with continuous issues surrounding the Pandemic and Covid19 crisis has seen  closures  of front line  services;  the  lack of  ability  of Statutory  Services  to support people and families and major funding cuts to Voluntary Sector Charities and Grass Roots Organisation, we continue to see an increase in people and families accessing  our  services  due  to  the  constantly  changing  and  shifting  political landscape. 

This has created more work for our charity; by increasing the volume of people who require our services at the same time as the financial landscape is decreasing. This is a familiar theme for The Pilion Trust having been created and established at a time of desperate need for the people coping with severe complex needs. 

Pilion Trust have become experts at doing even more with even less; but recognise the  serious  negative  impact  and  emotional  strain  on  the  whole  organisation  is enormous. The only positive in the present time is the volume of people who have and are still being supported by the Pilion Trust staff to create and maintain stable lives. 

Finally,  my  heartfelt  thank  you  to  all  our  staff  members,  volunteers,  students, partners, local businesses and the local Community who all have again outdone themselves in enhancing the organisation’s reputation and built on their success from last year.

setting up a home for the first time; or those at risk of losing their home if basic factors were not met within their home.
